That being said, however, Samsung's device is much newer than the 4S, and Apple was on the verge of releasing the iPhone 5, leading to smaller sales than usual. The iPhone 5 already reached 6 million sales before the end of the quarter.

Samsung has sold 33 million of the flagship, including 10 million in the last two months.

Apple is expected to reclaim the title in the fourth quarter thanks to its global iPhone 5 launch.

Yeah...a single phone of many from a single company of many making Androids outsold either of the two Apple options...next time a single phone (the Note II) will probably outsell all Apple options combined.
